I have vienna acoustic mozart grand marantz sr5005 avr,marantz 8001 sacd,vieanna theatro center,b&w 600s3 for rears,current amp adcom 555mk2.looked at used parasound hca 2003 thx, rotel rb 993, and and an adcom 5802.im fine with the performance the marantz gives me for ht but for two channel sound is muddy. i think its the amp? any advice on a used amp that would bring out the detail of the mozarts?

at 200 wpc into 4 ohms would that be enough to really open these speakers up? i can get this amp right now.

They are both good, the Bel would be a bit better, but it depends on your budget. Cost not an issue then the Bel Canto would be the better choice.

One of the very best solid state amps I have heard is the CJ 2250a or 2500a and one of the 2250a amps is listed here on the Gon! It is a great amp and match for your speakers.

I would say this amp is even better than the Bel Canto or other great Class D choices like Sonic D here on the Gon.
